Equipment
Power, voltage, and current capabilities for the electronic loads and power supplies are to be
specified. Special test equipment required for the conduct of this test plan (if any) is specified in
the individual test procedures.
4.0
The USABC identification number for the battery shall be determined and affixed to the
battery (if this has not been done by the manufacturer.) (See Appendix D for numbering
system.)
4.2
The battery or battery modules shall be examined to determine that damage has not
occurred during shipping or handling, and that the type and configuration (e.g. number and
interconnection of modules) are correct and agree with the assigned identification number.
4.3
The battery's physical dimensions and weight shall be measured. For battery packs
containing multiple subunits (modules or cells) interconnected by lab personnel after
receipt, the modules will be weighed individually; in other cases, the entire battery may be
weighed as a unit to avoid disassembling it (see Appendix E Worksheet).
4.4
Actual power levels (kW) and capacities (kWh or Ah) shall be established for those
planned tests specified in Section 7.0 where the procedures do not specify these levels.
These values should be derived from the ratings specified in Section 5.0 of this plan, based
on the manufacturers worksheet (Appendix E) and the measured weight or other
characteristics of the battery. If these are based on values other than manufacturer's
ratings or a fixed percentage of the USABC Mid Term or Long Term goals, the basis shall
be noted in the test plan and the battery log and subsequently reported.
